It was quality up until the final third, but thats been the case for 8 matches now. Playing a right left back at right forward, a center mid as a false 9 and Gally at all, but wide left....it was the only outcome that we'd struggle to score. The thing these last 8 matches have proven is that we dont have many proven finishers in the side. And the opportunities we are creating are falling to center backs, wing backs or others who have less than 10 goals to their name in their careers. It's really not surprising were struggling to score. We create chances but those chance need to fall to players that can finish, and unfortunately at the moment we dont have any of those players.

Still getting used to our system. Maybe in a few weeks he will learn to play our style

While I’ll concede it’s maddening to see our 5 million pound 6’4” center forward play wide, it’s less troubling than seeing his inability to control a ball, win a header or make any movement into a dangerous position in anticipation of a ball played in and then get handed a contract extension

Over 700 min now. Almost a milestone to be that poor.

Should be dropped. Rather see Vale get 90 than watch him for 1 min

The only system Gallagher is suited for is beer league. Can’t win a header, can’t get into space, can’t control the ball. He does do a good job of tracking back, which is useless for a center forward.

Plan A always works. Never need anything different

The system does accommodate a #9 but does allow for left wing backs to play as right forwards.

We play with one striker (if you can call him that) out wide 6 defenders and 3 center kids…and we wonder why we can’t score

I’ll leave this right here. The foresight of Ray Charles. “We had opportunities, there were No.9s out there and the really interesting thing is that clubs are phoning us and asking if we want to take this player, Premier League clubs.” “They have to fit into the way we play, why would we sign a Premier League centre forward if we don’t play with a centre forward at this moment, and he can’t do the running of a wide striker, doesn’t chase full backs, so we’d be playing with nine men rather than 10 out of possession?” “Why when we’re doing so well at the moment would we throw that away and do something totally different?” “We tried to recruit players to fit the system.”

No way this side is promotion material.

C’mon lads get this in.

We’ve totally lost it when Buckley came off. He was at the heart of everything we created. Leave Gallagher on for what?

Why do we give the young players 5 min to make a difference. No chance to get into the game

Should be Pickering off, Giles to wing back. Dolan on. Vale will probably get a chance with 3 min left.

Somehow Gallagher played that backward. If he just stands there it would nick off him and go in.

FFS!

He’d be better at the left out position.

This is a crazy idea but why not play him in the wing where we have non wingers playing?

Because when we sell BBD and don’t replace him, Gally will be our only recognized forward. Recognized a incapable but recognized none the less

Needs another month to learn how to play our style. Our style apparently is wasteful in the final 3rd.

When AA was sold he was to be replaced in the summer. Then in January. It’s blatantly obvious even with BBD we are missing up front. No different than 2 seasons ago when we were told defenders are coming and we had a makeshift back line with a 40 year old playing left back. Not bringing in an attacking option in January has train wrecked our season.

Yeah but now we sub one off we have no one to fill in if there’s an injury.

It’s the one thing we all seem to agree on.

Giles looks out of sorts on the right side. Why he’s on the right and Gallagher is on the left is a mystery
